Effect of Mechanical Properties on the Bruise Susceptibility of Peaches

Object description

In this study, variation in the mechanical properties (bio-rupture force, modulus of elasticity, and failure energy and deformation) depending on duration of storage of Dixired peaches was experimentally investigated. Furthermore, relationship between the mechanical properties and bruise susceptibility was examined. Therefore, Impact treatments were applied to the peaches by pendulum impactor test device at four energy levels. After impact treatments, bruise volume was measured in the bruised pe...
